JavaTest harness A test harness developed by Sun to manage test execution and result reporting
for a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK). The harness configures, sequences,
and runs test suites. The JavaTest harness provides flexible and customizable
test execution. It includes everything a test architect needs to design and
implement tests for implementations of a Java specification.
keywords Used to direct the JavaTest harness to include or exclude tests from a test run.
Keywords are defined for a test by the test suite architect.
Maintenance Lead
(ML) The person responsible for maintaining an existing Java specification, related
Reference Implementation (RI), and Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK). The
ML manages the TCK appeals process, exclude list, and any revisions needed
to the specification, TCK, or RI.
methods Procedures or routines associated with one or more classes,inobject-oriented
languages.
MultiTest A JavaTest harness library class that enables tests to include multiple test cases.
Each test case can be addressed individually in a test suite exclude list.
namespace A set of names in which all names are unique.
object-oriented A category of programming languages and techniques based on the concept of
objects, which are data structures encapsulated with a set of routines, called
methods that operate on the data.
objects In object-oriented programming, objects are unique instances of a data
structure defined according to the template provided by its class. Each object
has its own values for the variables belonging to its class and can respond to
the messages (methods) defined by its class.
packages A namespace within the Java programming language. It can have classes and
interfaces. A package is the smallest unit within the Java programming
language.
passive agent A type of test agent that must wait for a request from the JavaTest harness
before they can run tests. The JavaTest harness initiates connections to passive
agents as needed. See also test agent, active agent, and JavaTest harness agent.
prior status A JavaTest harness filter used to restrict the set of tests in a test run based on
the last test result information stored in the test result files (.jtr).
Profile specification A specification that references one of the platform edition specifications and
zero or more other Java specifications (that are not already a part of a platform
edition specification). APIs from the referenced platform edition must be
